(Continued from Page One) ment sald that in view of the -ex- pense of further proceedings and the admitted personal _and official integ- rity of Admiral Little, the findings. merely had been disapproved without reconvening the court. “An_important -side light upon the attitude of Admiral Little in the per- formance of his dutles,” said the state- ment, “is shown by the testimony of Lieutenant Moses, wherein he states that Redr Admiral Little was not eas- ily approachable and that he, Moses, was made to feel that his opinions and recommendations would preferably be made to Rear Admiral Little's assist- ants: this attitude is furthermore ex- empiified in Rear Admiral Little’s own testimony wherein he refers to Moses’ Tepresentations concerning the. bat- tery -as ‘kicks' and “wherein he states that they were ‘kicking all the time about. one thing or another.’” The statement sald the department deplores this attitude on the part of an officer and continued: “The court after mature . deliberation most_fully and honorably acquitted Rear Admiral Little of the charges. The department is unable to ‘concur with the court or, after careful review of the evidence, to ascertain the reasons. governing it in its acquittal. In view, however, of the impracticability and expense attending the Te-convening of the court and the fact that Rear Admiral Little is now no lénger on inspection -duty and- of the improbability of his method being T = followed by other officers on inspection duty and in_view of his admitted per- sonal and official integrity, the depart: ment has disapproved the findings and acquittal -~ without —re-convening _the court for re-consideration .thereof.” Secretary Daniels said his chief rea- son for disapproving the action was because he wished to impress on old- er officials the necessity of giving full weight to the recommendations of their juniors. 3 Lieutenant Moses was on duty, in preparation for taking command of the vessel when commissioned. Testi- mony at the courtmartial, which con- vened at Boston, November 1, showed that Moses complained of bad work- manship in installation of the boat's storage batteries. Examination of sev- eral cells showed lead .drops in them. Moses wished moré cells examined, but Admiral Little accepted the boat from her builders on the contractor's as- surance that the batteries would be repaired without charge should they later prove defective. The contractor now is repairing the batteries with- out cost, although under no legal ob- ligation to do so. The K-2 was accepted in Janua; 1914. Rear Admiral Little’s couri martial was ordered by Secretary Dan- iels October 16 on reports of her offi- cers detailing the imperfections of her batteries. New Haven Cigarmaker Suicides.

Such a large difference in receipts is accounted for partly by the fact that last year there was a county tax that amounted to over $38,000, and, this year there was none. Receipts through- the jail the past year were $14,260.54, where they were $15,142.33 the precéding year, the 10 per cent. frem licenses amounted to $7,392.50 in contrast to-$7,805.95 and there was $13,867.78 received from the state for county home, which was $13,026.99 a year ago., In the receipts.at the jail there was about $580 less received from the state than a year ago and the earnings from prisoners was about 3215 less.

New York, Nov. 22. — Theodore Roosevelt as president of the United tes, again appeared as the ad- | visor of Charles S. Mellen in New Ha- ven aflairs, the acquisition of the Bos- ton and ‘Maine railroad, i ntestimony adduced today at the trial of _the eleven former directors of the New Haven road under the Sherman anti- trust law. Mellen represented the former pres- ident as having, in 1907, ad- vised the purchase of the Boston and Maine with the reservation, however, that “if you do wrong you needn't come back to me” The advice was given after Mellen*had an_ interview at Roosevelt's suggestion, with Frank- lin K. Lane, chairman of the inter- state commerce commission and ex- plained to him that there was danger of the Boston and Maine “falling . to the hands of aliens” if the New Haven did not take it. By ‘aliens,” the witness said, he meant the Cana- dian Pacific or the Grand Trunk rail- roads of Canada and that Chairman Lane agreed with him that such an eventuality was dangerous from a military point of view. The testimony was brought ut aft- er R. L. Batts, attorney for the gov- ernment, had read into the record an exchange of correspondence, subse- quent to the interview between Mel- len and H. M. Whitney of Boston. Little Father at Washington. “I have always thought it possible that the Litde Father at Washington might like to_get his finger in the.pie,” wrote Whitney, in reference to the Boston and Maine deal, “in which case, if it should happen before the public had become reconciled to the change, it might result in'infinite harm to all your iuterests.” “The Washington situation,” Mel- len wrote in reply, “I have, I think, completely cared for. One never knows for certain about those mat- ters. but the ground has been care- tully ploughed and every chance of grtm(;ble considered and I think elimin- ated.” ’ Control of Boston and Maine. From this point the government to- day went farther into the more or less familiar history of the New Ha- ven’s \troubles_in getting permanent control of the Boston and Maine, which culminated in 1308 in the passage by the Massachusetts legislature of a law enabling tke New Haven legally to control .the 109,000 shares of Boston and Maine stock it had acquired., The government met a setback, however, when the court ruled that no evidence as to possible corruption of the legis: lature was admissible. Judge Hunf held that no such means were alleged in the indictment as having bgen used by the New Haven to gain its alleged monopoly of New England's trans. portation traffic. The setback came when Attorney Batts inquired of Mr. Mellen who the New Haven's legislative agent was in 1908. This was at the time when the New Haven had been restrained byan act of the Massachusetts legislature, : Exposition of The Winter Mode in Milli;\ery_ Featuring Fur Trimmed Hats ORZ 0 OOy We announce for This Morning, November 24th. a formal presentation of the most exclusive Styles in Winter Millinery.

Attorney Batts held that the trans- action was for the purpose of com- cealment of the New Haven's owner- ship in order to render its owner- ship secure until the Massachusetts legislation had been passed. “Mr. Mellen will deny,” said Batts, “that the New Haven controlled every security held by the Billard company. but we will, nevertheless, prove it by him.! ' In leading up to the Billard deal, the government questioned the witness on the activities of the New England In- vestment and Security company, about $16,000,000. worth of whose gold notes were used in the Billard ‘company transactions. This. concern, it was brought_out, was organized as “a vol- untary trust” with New Haven di- rectors as trustees—for the taking over of the New Haven's trolley properties in Massachusetts at a time when the question was being agitated whether regarded it as a good investment. “And,” he continued, *T bought it in for $150 a share and sold it for $200, which brought me out in fine shape. ‘As for the dividends, I never eXpected to be reimbursed. I caleu lated to see these men . through and I saw them through.” ¥ E. D. Robbins, counsel for ‘the New Haven, it was brought out, also bought some of the stock, which, with Mel- len's, was sold to the firm of Sander- son and Porter. This firm in 1913 offered it to President Elliott of the New Haven, Mr. Mellen said, but this offer was refused. “What other occupation did you have besides being president of ‘the New Haven?" the witness was asked. “Oh, 1 took a little fiier in stocks dnce in a while” “Were you in the habit of taking fliers in securities from which you were able to make a profit_because of your pesition in the New Haven?’ The question. was ruled out.
